How's the View?
Title:  How's the View?
Description:  SD40-2 twins 3052 and 3053 make their way over the towering Holcomb Creek Trestle with the Harbor Turn behind them. Normally this train goes back empty so the loaded log cars (what it took down) is very strange indeed.

Almost There
Title:  Almost There
Description:  Track speed on the trestle is 10 mph so it takes some time to get across. This line saw no trainu between 1994 and 1998 and came within inches of being turned into a rail trail. Thank God that didn't happen.
